When quizzed by hosts Ant and Dec about her consecutive failures, Helen laughed off any notion of a "game plan".

"Oh my God, I completely wish, because honestly, ever since I've been here I've just been absolutely cringing about how bad I'm going to look in these trials, thinking this is so humiliating - I will never be able to live this down," she said.

Before she was shown footage of her time on the show, the pin-up joked that she did not want to watch herself back.

"Can I have a pillow to cringe?" she asked.

Despite failing to succeed in the trials, Helen said she was still "proud" of how she coped.

She said: "When I first came into the show I was thinking 'Yeah, I'm really strong-minded, I'll be able to do all the trials and things'.

"I didn't think they were going to be as hard."

She added: "Even though some of the trials were quite bad, I'm proud of myself because I feel like I did my best."
